Overview

• Ace Bailey canceled his scheduled private workout and dinner with the 76ers, remaining the only top U.S. prospect without any pre-draft team visits
• Bailey’s camp is demanding a top-3 guarantee and a clear ‘pathway to stardom’, contributing to his slip to No. 6 in ESPN’s latest mock draft
• Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe impressed Sixers brass and Tyrese Maxey during a recent private workout and is now viewed as the current leader for the third selection
• The 76ers haven’t ruled out picking Bailey despite concerns over his maturity, polish and unusual pre-draft approach after extensive scouting at Rutgers and a draft-combine interview
• Philadelphia has discussed a developing trade framework that would send Paul George to Utah and move down from No. 3 to No. 5, reshaping their draft strategy
